Governor Smith ends public campaigns after 25 years
New York Governor Alfred E. Smith announces he will not run for office again after a strenuous quarter century in public service. He returns to Albany to finish his term under Franklin D. Roosevelt’s anticipated succession, with his wife Katie Donn Smith by his side. The former fish salesman and ward official reflects on the upset of his presidential bid and hints at possible private-sector work, while vice presidency and banking rumors circulate.
